Thanks for the explanation @TheQuin. Well, I guess all I can do is....wait. Hopefully it gets at least ONE confirmation in the next few hours? Who knows.
The queue is clearing quite quickly now so if that continues it will be soon now.
Any chance you guys would let us customize our fees in the future to prevent a situation like this? For really urgent transactions (like this one), I would have willingly and intentionally selected an absurdly high transaction fee to ensure it something like this didn't happen.
We have low transaction fees because we consolidate all our deposits and batch together withdrawals making the amount of data for each user's share in each transaction smaller. That does mean that all user's transactions are dependant on each other. To allow individual users to choose fees independently would mean we have to change the entire system resulting in higher fees for everyone. It's a balancing act between faster confirmations and higher fees and we think with the nature of our site the majority would opt for lower fees and the occasional wait.
That makes sense. Thank you for the response/explanation. I appreciate it. My transaction was confirmed so all is good. Thank you.
